No appliances yet Rick. There is a compressor for sale down south but the vendor won't post which is a shame 
Some day I'll get something to hook it up to

It is heavy, the reason it's now on a trolley The engine is a miserly 298lbs plus the weight of the trolley
I guess it's now a non-stationary engine

After dragging the engine outdoors on its trolley yesterday for the first time I noticed the handles were a little squinty so I sorted that today and cranked it up. This was the longest I've had it running and managed to get a nice steam vapour out the top of the hopper, but not without a slight setback
